Crazy is as Crazy does. Or is that Handsome is as Handsome does? Who cares! This is a tale of two crazies – Carnage and Deadpool.
Carnage is the result of combining a white trash serial killer and a bit of the Venom alien symbiote. Result – violent, bloody, psychotic mayhem or, um, carnage. And he’s back for the 1,326th time in Marvel comics’ continuity.
Like ice cream, crazy comes in a variety of flavors. Deadpool’s nuts, but he uses his skillz to usually fight against evil and as hinted above, Carnage lives up to his name. And that’s the problem here. It’s difficult to reconcile Deadpool’s brand of humor (there’s plenty here) with scenes, albeit off the page, of Carnage eviscerating families and especially, kids. It just doesn't juxtapose smoothly.
This is definitely not for children or anyone taking certain types of medication

This 100% ultraviolent nonsense madness is more a 3 stars decent read than 4, but I've always been a fan of Carnage stories and Cletus/Shriek are a great "Natural Born (Serial) Killers" couple with superpowers!
Deadpool and Carny are two psychopats out of 90s comics and this mini-series had some great and disturbing moments, so strange they've not met early.
Hope there is a round two sooner or later.

Carnage is roaming free and causing carnage because the dude's got no imagination. Watching the chaos unfold in between looking for shows starring Kat Dennings, the TV tells Deadpool that he’s the only one who can track Carnage as they’re both on the same crazy wavelength. That’s all it takes as Deadpool Beautiful-Minds his way to Carnage, “reading” the secret messages in the everyday that, against all odds, lead him to the bloodthirsty symbiote; yup, disturbingly, Deadpool’s madness method works! And the rest of the book is fighting between the two. Who wins? Well, they’re both invincible so… yeah, it plays out as you’d expect.
Following the success of the Deadpool Killology (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool Killustrated, Deadpool Kills Deadpool) and Night of the Living Deadpool, Cullen Bunn’s Deadpool four-issue standalone miniseries seem to be a staple of Marvel’s publishing schedule now. This latest is a throwback to ‘90s superhero comics with a Vs storyline starring two quintessentially ‘90s characters, Deadpool and Carnage.
Bunn delivers what you want from a Deadpool Vs Carnage comic – lots of bloody violence (this is not a comic for kids) as the two indestructible characters have at it with gusto. Deadpool stuffs a grenade down Carnage’s mouth, Carnage dismembers Deadpool, Deadpool drives a thresher into Carnage, etc. It’s a lot of fun, silly stuff!
Where things take an unexpected left turn is when Bunn introduces philosophical discussions on free will into the dialogue, and the finale, far from being an over the top gore-fest, becomes a surprisingly cerebral conclusion. But I don’t want to overplay the intellectual angle too much as its more of an interesting element thrown in the mix than being representative of the whole book – it’s mostly as crazy and action-heavy a comic as you’d think with some great scenes between the two.
Artist Salva Espin’s Deadpool expressions and body language are pitch-perfect, and I love the little details he throws into the panels, like the opening scene in Deadpool’s house where there’s a roll of toilet paper in every room. What the hell is Deadpool doing – what’s wrong with him?! I kept wondering, and then I realised, oh yeah, he only eats chimichangas and beer. Little (gross) detail, but shows how much the artist knows the character.
Deadpool Vs Carnage is a decent version of the overused superhero staple, the Vs comic, and it’s enjoyable while it lasts but essentially it’s pretty forgettable, disposable entertainment.

Meh... Hiç sevmedim. Şimdiye dek okuduğum en kötü Deadpool hikâyesiydi desem yeridir. Senarist Cullen Bunn bunu nasıl başarıyor bilmiyorum ama "Bundan daha kötüsü olamaz," dediğim her seferinde beni yanıltıp daha da sıkıcı bir öyküyle karşımıza çıkmayı başarıyor.
Cildin ilk hikâyesi, yani Carnage ve Cletus Kasady ikilisini tanıtan giriş macerası, Spidey'in en sadist düşmanını tanımayanlar için birebir olmuş. Kaosa tapan ve sırf yapabildiği için öldüren bu seri katil kesinlikle Marvel evrenindeki en korkunç düşmanlardan biri. Simbiyotuyla tekrar birleştiği ilk bölüm de bir Deadpool macerasından çok, Spider-man sayılarını anlatan bir ciddiyete ve karamsarlığa sahip.
Derken işin içine Deadpool giriyor ve işler tam da beklediğiniz gibi absürdleşiyor. Geveze paralı askerimizin Carnage'in peşine düşmeye "karar veriş" şekli gerçekten komikti. Kendisinin ve Carnage'in aynı frekansta olduğunu düşünmesi de öyle. Ama eğlence maalesef orada sona eriyor ve ondan sonrası iki karakterin birbirlerini durmadan kesip biçtiği, uzuvlarını kopardığı ve iç organlarını döktüğü bir kavgaya dönüşüyor.
Senaryonun gittiği bir nokta yok, karakterlerin bir amacı yok, hikâyenin bir anlamı yok, esprilerin de güldürdüğü yok... Birileri bu yazara Deadpool'un sadece kesip biçmekten ve kanlı sahnelerden ibaret olmadığını anlatsa iyi olur. Kimsenin geveze paralı askerimizin serüvenlerini bunun için okuduğunu da sanmıyorum. Gülmek istiyorsunuz, ama sonunda sayfaları hızla geçip gitmekten başka bir şey yapmaz oluyorsunuz. Sonu da hikâye kadar hayal kırıklığına uğratıcıydı. Oysa çok büyük potansiyeli vardı bu iki çılgının karşılaşmasının. Yazık olmuş...

Deadpool versus Carnage is about as fucking stupid as you'd expect, yet still pretty entertaining. Carnage is busy wreaking havoc in town, slaughtering everyone in his path.
Meanwhile, Deadpool, believing he's received a message from God (or maybe just his TV), embarks on a mission to hunt down Carnage.
This comic is a bloody good time, filled with gruesome deaths, dismembered bodies, and gore galore. It's also packed with stupid jokes—some land, others fall flat, making you wish you'd never read them.
However, if you're in the mood for an over-the-top, entertaining brawl between the ultimate anti-hero, Deadpool, and a true psychopath like Carnage, then this story absolutely fits the bill.

By this point in my journey to read everything Carnage related (before diving in to Absolute Carnage), I’m starting to feel numb. Two decades of this punchline of a villain is wearing on my soul, writhing for some progression. Superior Carnage retconned the only good thing to come out of Minimum Carnage, which was to lobotomise Cletus and give us some new host(s). Somehow exposure to the symbiote repaired his brain (even though he was carrying the symbiote for ages after Scarlet Spider shishkebabed him), so again we’re cursed to suffer this fool.
Point in favour of this book: Cullen Bunn seems to get how to write crazy wisecracking DP.
Point against: they brought back Shriek. Oh lawdy, how bawdy (and boring).
If they’re going to write a pointless story that starts where it finishes, then at least make it as entertaining as this. Deadpool with the Mercury team’s symbiotes? Shriek as a pawn in the Mano-a-Mano? How’s about that quipping eh? At least this helped pass the pages painlessly. Bunn’s still hardly my favourite writer, or even my favourite DP writer, but he does find a way to make the pages turn easily.

What happens when you pit two indestructable killing machines against each other? A lot of destruction, that's what. It's loads of fun to see a clown duking it out with an inbred redneck, both more loony than you can fit on a page. Sure, one is homicidal maniac, but the other's humor somehow humanizes both of them. This is a funny, gib-infested ride that is sure to put a smile on your face. Not being put off by dismembering, evisceration, decapitation and blood-covered enclosures helps a lot, though.
Deadpool decides that his madness makes him a perfect candidate to track down the murderous Carnage. He seems to have the upper hand given his gun and ordnance training, but Carnage gets help from Shriek. Carnage wins the first round, but Deadpool doesn't give up - he's having too much fun.

LMAO DEADPOOL IS SO FUNNY this was a great comic
March 6, 2015
Deadpool vs. Carnage isn't exactly a deep or thought-provoking graphic novel. But who ever said it had to be?
The book is kicked off by a Superior Carnage annual, which unfortunately didn't mean much to me since I've never been a Carnage fan, but it explained the story well enough that one feels caught up with the character and his story. This, however, is the weakest comic in the collection and it looks up from there.
The second issue in this book is Deadpool vs. Carnage issue one, which is where the story really kicks up. A few funny quips and Deadpool's idea of being seen as a legend for taking down Carnage later, Deadpool is off on his quest.
The third issue doesn't really progress the story too much beyond the first clash the two characters have, but it's definitely of note because it's where the humor hits all the right notes.
The fourth issue is of course the third issue of Deadpool vs. Carnage and sets up the the seriously awesome last issue.
The last issue is seriously just an awesome piece that may well go into the annals of the best Deadpool comics of all time (well, probably not. But still). Without spoiling too much, Deadpool gets some awesome new abilities that put him at just the right level to take down Carnage.
Honestly, however, this collection does let you down at some points. The driving force behind the story (that Deadpool and Carnage have some sort of psychic link purportedly because they're both insane) is rather weak and just feels like a cop-out plot device. Shriek, Carnage's girlfriend, isn't given much of a role and is disposed of rather quickly, which was a bit of a disappointment because she seemed rather powerful. The last let down was the very conclusion, where Carnage simply gives up. Just felt like a weak note in an otherwise spectacular final issue, but you can't have it all.
Fortunately, however, the book's pros do weigh out the cons. It's a fun Deadpool-centric romp and it has earned its place on my bookshelf easily.

I didn't expect much from this matchup but I was a little bit let down.This would of been a decent matchup except it isn't deadpool vs. carnage, they both get help which just spoils the fun really. Carnage is his usual brutal self slicing and dicing anyone in his way and when Deadpool decides his is the person to track down ol Cletus once he escapes prison I couldn't agree more. Deadpool brings the jokes and the fight starts out great but then Cletus brings back up and I instantly thought weak sauce. The fight continues on and still liked the direction but then Deadpool gets help and I thought...uhhhh ok. This would of been a fun ride if it was truly deadpool vs carnage but its not so I was let down.

“Look out, world.
Lock your windows! Bar your doors! Make sure your life insurance premiums are paid up!
Cletus and Carnage are together again!
And this time...
WE’RE GONNA PAINT THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD RED!”

I mean it's not awful I think I just expected more being a huge deadpool and carnage fan the story was bland in my opinion the artwork was fine the characters were what you would expect all in all meh

Good match up - Carnage and Deadpool who are both off their rockers.
Add a sprinkling of some subjective fate, and you have a recipe for carnage...

What are you trying to tell me, TV people?
September 9, 2015
um I see this got 4 stars. Really? Deadpool is just so damn annoying. I tried to like him but I just could not. His dialogue is just annoying dressed up as "amusing". I'm sorry but this series is nothing more than just ok. It seems forced at best. I would have given it one star but I didn't think it was awful. If you are a huge deadpool fan this is up your alley. If you just like to read different comics well may i suggest giving this one a pass and read something else?

I guess I don't get Carnage? And I learned Carnage is related to Venom who I've never liked either so I guess it makes sense why I don't like Carnage. At least Deadpool made the best of it.

Od razu zaznaczam, iż należałoby trzymać małoletnich z dala od tego tytułu, ale kogo ja próbuje oszukać... To przecież Deadpool. Tyle, że jego przeciwnikiem tym razem zostaje nie kto inny jak psychopatyczny Clatus Kasady z Carnage'm na pokładzie. To już samo przez się zapowiada krwawą łaźnię i takową rzeczywiście tutaj dostajemy...
Pierwszy zeszyt jaki nam tutaj prezentują ukazuje nam sytuację, gdzie Clatus ląduje w więzieniu, gdzie więźniowie szykują dla niego małą niespodziankę, z drugiej zaś strony jego symbiont znajduje się w jakimś laboratorium i lekko "usycha" bez swojego nosiciela. Jak możecie się domyślić, sytuacja taka nie potrwa długo. Wszystko co stanie na drodze tego maniakalnego mordercy zostanie rozczłonkowane... Nie ma znaczenia czy to rodzina z dziećmi.
Na taką falę przemocy ktoś musiał odpowiedzieć. Robi to Deadpool, który podczas kanapowej nasiadówki doznaje olśnienia. Przez telewizor daje mu o sobie znać los, przeznaczenie, czy co tam jeszcze jest i typuje go do odstrzelenia potwora, który gdzieś tam praktykuje swoje makabryczne dzieła. Na przestrzeni tych kilku tomów obaj antagoniści staną naprzeciw sobie wielokrotnie, co jest chyba najjaśniejszym punktem tego tytułu.
Starcia są "treściwe". Flaki latają wszędzie. Carnage wścieka się, bo wydawało mu się, iż działa chaotycznie i nie ma sposobu, aby wpaść na jego ślad, a Wilson jednak podąża jego śladem bez wytchnienia. Całość jest ładnie zarysowana, przeładowana czerwienią i mokrą treścią, bowiem posoka to główny składowy wielu kadrów.
D vs. C jest dosyć kontrowersyjny, bo mało mam do czynienia z pozycjami, gdzie wróg nie cacka się z dziećmi i jedno spojrzenie na wnętrze pewnego auta działa na wyobraźnię aż nadto. Myślę, jednak że ta pozycja potrzebowała trochę takich zagrań, bo sama w sobie jest całkowicie przewidywalna. To taki odpowiednik kinowego popkorniaka. Zasiadasz tutaj, aby nacieszyć oczy kilkoma ciekawymi akcjami. Czasami się uśmiechnąć lub nawet wydać z siebie małe "wow", zwłaszcza po tym jaką formę przybiera to nie "ostateczne" starcie.
Całość nadal mi się podoba, choć były miejsca gdzie udało mi się ziewnąć. Oscylowałbym pomiędzy trójeczką a czwóreczką, ale ten tytuł nie ma "tego czegoś" co uzasadniałoby ocenę wyższą. Dla fanów obu postaci jak najbardziej. Nie zmieni to Waszego świata, ale jest szansa, iż będziecie się bawić nieźle.

One of those rare stories where Deadpool is used perfectly-- because who's more fit than he is to match violent, psychotic wits with Cletus Kasady? (Wait, what's that? You said Moon Knight? Hmm, yeah, good one. Well, he's not in this, but your point is taken.) What follows is mindlessly entertaining in the best possible way, with the two enemies' over-the-top confrontations playing out like your typical episode of Itchy and Scratchy. But is the tone utterly comedic? No. There are enough moments of tragic and downright brutal violence that you remember there are stakes to all of this. I mean, it's Carnage-- he's gonna do what Carnage does. And he and Shriek (who's come along for the ride) are pulling no punches against our hero. Sure, their Bonnie and Clyde villainous romance has never hit the same highs (or lows) as that one clown couple, but they manage to serve as formidable enough an opposition that you don't feel like our invincible Weapon X guy is having *too* fun of a time. This is among the more graphically violent Marvel titles that I've read in recent memory, but the visuals are more remarkable for having such broad appeal to a range of artistic sensibilities. This slick line art is dynamic, kinetic, and perfectly suited to the mercenary-on-symbiote action. I found the panels hitting harder than your average Marvel comic, especially with how Salvador Espin nails the wild facial expressions of Carnage and the panicked faces of those he terrorizes, much of which evokes a manga art style. (Though whether or not too much of that manga style influenced Shriek's design is up to you.) When the dust settles, Wade and Cletus have fought it out on a level that goes far beyond the physical, making this feud surprisingly memorable. This is one of those rare comics that serves well as a standalone story, and one you can readily recommend to a new Marvel reader-- as I plan to do for my nephew, once he's a bit older.
My only criticism of DvC is that it has such a bad cover illustration, featuring one of the worst representations of Carnage I've ever seen. It looks *nothing* like him, and it's a damn shame if that hurt this book's reception.

"Carnage is #$%&*ç@ crazy. I'm delightfully mad. We're on similar wavelenghts. I can figure him out". That's everything you need to know about the premise of this comic: Carnage is mad and on the loose, Deadpool is mad and pretty bored; he starts seeing hidden messages the world is throwing at him, and he decides to follow them and kill Carnage. Because why not, basically.
Cullen Bunn, the mastermind behind the Deadpool Killogy, picks up an interesting story, facing one regenerative mass-murder psycopath with another degenerate regenerative guy. And he delivers a nicely-written/interesting/bloddy as hell storry, with picks onto the Marvel world, and characters and plots related to Deadpool. The drawing is excellent, with visually impressive (and gory) scenes, and perfectly matching the tone of the narrative. Five numbers that are quick, intense, very self-centered and, basically, as I read someone somewhere, "the best you can get for a versus story". On the slightly dissapointing note I would indicate that the ending to the story was somehow a low point, that could've been managed better (seems more like a "we have to stop now" ending than a place where the story was leading), but the final chapter, and the SPOILER Deadpool connecting with the four symbiotes stuff END OF SPOILER were pretty cool.
Yeah, it's not perfect, and as Deadpool himself screams, "chaos is just an imaginary friend, and he's full of shit"... So you can't really expect perfection here. I prefered the first two stories in the Deadpool Killogy (haven't read Deadpool kills Deadpool yet), and that's the only reason I'm giving this one 3/5 stars, instead of the 4/5 that probably deserves. Still, it's a good comic, and a must-read if you're a Deadpool fan.
